A bunch of weirdos, druggies, and hippies getting together, getting high, and screwing in the desert. How could anyone get hurt?

Sex in the desert 🌵? No thanks. I need a good motel 6 with the vibrating bed.

I’m triggered by the word “Man.” What is a man? Why isn’t it called Burning Sperm Contributing Parent?

Unless someone comes forward and confesses this will remain unsolved. Unlike TV and the movies, police do not have unlimited budgets, and with 20,000 suspects from everywhere they will not do much more and collect what if any evidence they can find, log it in, move on to something easier.

I get your point, but you would miss out on the collective energy and random hook up possibilities offered by the many thousands who attend Burning Man. For certain types, the gathering is like Woodstock in the desert with better amenities.

“I need a good motel 6 with the vibrating bed.”

Same here. We’re clearly civilized people.

I finally realized why BM (burning man or bowel movement) evokes such disgust: a bunch of people dancing around a golden statue in the desert. Hmmmm. Where have we heard that before? Exodus 32.

G-d will not be denied.

You mean artists?

If you read the article in post #5, a lot of them are well off. It says "Burning Man draws scientists, executives, innovators, and leaders" and "the event itself is sustained by some of the wealthiest donors in the world, many of whom treat it as their personal playground". Those people are still weirdos in all likelihood. I wish she had named names.

Suspected homicide.

Alleged.

I think suicide.

This year’s burning man is a proto-AI-powered image of the beast.

Every year they build a private airport and runway in the black rock desert. It’s FAA code is 88NV.

While the burn is on its one of the busiest private and GA airports in the nation. This is not little 172s its Gulf Streams and Lears the burn has become like Coachella a playground for the ultra wealthy. RV rentals go for $3000+ per night more with full burner staff to cook for you and do supply runs. Of course water and diesel generators plus AC.

I have flown to 88NV for the burn a couple of times.

It’s not a small op at all.

I don’t see a paved runway. How do they take off and land?

Artists, actors, musicians, and (generally) anyone who thinks Woodstock and the 60s were wonderful.
